COMBINED CAN CONTAINER AND PEBFORATOR.

Specification of Letterslatent.

Patented Apr. 29, 1913.`

Application led June 29, 1911. Serial No. 696,070.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY A. JAvINs, citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements in Combined Can Containers and Perforators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to receptaclesfor containing sealed cans which are provided with a-cover having means for automatically puncturing a can located in the receptacle.

The invention has for its object to provide an improved receptacle of this kind constructed and arranged asherevinafter set forth and claimed.

Figure 1 is a View in plan showing the device with the lid closed. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross sectional View along the line 2--2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view in plan with the lid removed. Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the upper portion of the cam containing rece tacle. Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan view o the perforating tip carried by the upper port-ion of the receptacle. Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the same.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals it will be seen that the improved device comprises a body 8 which is made of any suitable material and which is preferably cylindrical in form. The body 8 is provided adjacent the top thereof with a beaded ring 9 and attached to said body below said ring is a handle 10, which may be made of any design which will be pleasing to the eye.

The body 8 is provided with a cover which forms the upper portion thereof and consists of the top 11 having a depending side 12 which rests upon the beaded ring 9, said ring limiting the downward movement of said cover. The top 11 is joined to the side 12 by crimpingx the edges thereof as indicated at 13. T e forward portion 14 of the top 11 is extended beyond the side 12 and forms a spout and has a slight upward inclination and the extreme end of said portion 14 is crimped at 15 to receive the portion 16 which is connected to the side 12 and forms a brace for the'spout.

The top 11 is provided adjacent its periphery with oppositely disposed recesses or depressions 17 and 18. The recess 17 is circular while the recess 18 is spatulate in order to provide a guide for a liquid which is to be discharged from a canin said receptacle. These recesses are provided with stamped out apertures 19 and 20 which allow the liquid in the can to flow freely therefrom. A pair of dependin perforating tips 21 are soldered to the un er side of the top 11 directly beneath the openings 19 and 20 by means of the enlarged circular rings 22. The bottom 23 of each of the erforating tips is inclined in order to provlde sharp perforating points 24 which are adapted to puncture the top of the can, said inclinations being so positioned to face the central vertical axis of the receptacle. The o ening 20 permits the liquid to flow fromA t e can and the opening 19 serves as an air vent. It will also be obvious that both of these openings 19 and 20 will permit liquid to flow back into the can 25 when the receptacle has been again placed in an' upright position.

A lid 26-is hinged to the top 11 at 27 and is provided with a forward extension 28 which overhangs the spatulate recess 18 of said cover when said lid is in a closed position. A thumb piece 29 is also provided for the lid and facilitates the raising of the same when it is desired to pour the contents of the can.

In use, the can 25 is first nplaced within the body 8 and within the cover which comprises the top 11 and side 12 is placed over said body and pressed downwardly. It will be seen that the points 24 of the perforating tips 21 will make cont-act with the top of the can and will cut a piece from the same.

What I claim is 'i 1. A receptacle for containing a sealed can having a top provided with a recess adjacent to one side thereof, and a horizontal rearwardly inclined spout having a recess in its bottom at its rear end, each of said recesses having a hole, and a hollow puncturing devicedepend'ing from each of said recesses.

2. A receptacle for containing a sealed can having a vertically slidable flanged top formed with a rearwardly inclined horizontal spout, with la recess in the bottom of the rear end of, said spout having a hole, a. de- In testimony whereof aii my signature pending cutting projection beneath said rein presence of two witnesses. cess, and al second recess in said top having HARRY A' JAVINS n air vent hole', and a' depending hollow cutting projection, and a cover hinged to Witnesses:

said top und extending over the same and M. G. MCGEEHAN, the spout. H. C. SCHRQEDER.
